Ok, we're getting closer, although the 2.6.16 release
certainly seems to drag out more than it should have.

Some of the worrisome bootup problems seem to have been
resolved to a stupid build-time race, where we just generated
an empty version string.
Oops.

The diffstat shows that the largest changes here are the ia64
defconfig updates, much of the rest really is pretty small,
but all over the map.
Some ocfs2 and 9pfs fixes and updates, and various driver and
networking fixes.

The ShortLog (appended) gives a pretty good picture of it,
